Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1956, this property is aged but has received some important updates such as a newer roof, dual-pane windows, and updated insulation, indicating regular upkeep. The seller has also ordered a new electric panel, addressing a significant system concern. However, the interior, particularly the bathroom (with its dated wood paneling, basic fixtures, and exposed plumbing) and likely the unseen kitchen, requires substantial updates and modernization. The flooring and light fixtures also appear dated. While functional, the property needs significant cosmetic and functional rehabilitation to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located near Big Bear Lake and ski slopes, with Meadow Park, swim beach, tennis courts, and other recreational amenities just 1.5 blocks away. Ski slopes, restaurants, nightlife, and national forest trails are all minutes away, making it ideal for recreation.
Development & Expansion Potential: The property sits on a large, level 6,720 sqft lot (140x48 ft) with explicit mention of room to expand the house square footage, add a garage, or even an ADU, offering significant future value appreciation.
Recent Key Upgrades: Features recent essential updates including a newer roof, dual-pane windows, updated insulation, and a new electric panel on order, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Versatile Use Case: Marketed as suitable for full-time residency, a second home, or a vacation rental, broadening its appeal to a diverse range of potential buyers and investment strategies.
Competitive Pricing (Relative to Location): Advertised as the 'Lowest asking Price near Lake and Slopes,' positioning it as a potentially attractive entry point into the desirable Big Bear Lake market.
Cons
Limited Living Space & Bedroom Count: With only 486 sqft and officially 1 bedroom (despite having 'a few areas to sleep'), the property offers very compact living quarters, which may limit its appeal to larger families or those seeking more spacious accommodations.
Age of Property: Built in 1956, the cabin is an older structure. While some updates have been made, potential buyers may still face concerns regarding the age of other systems or the overall structural integrity not covered by recent renovations.
Potential Overpricing Relative to Market Value: The listing price is 11% higher than the estimated property value, which could indicate it is currently priced above market expectations, potentially affecting buyer interest or requiring a price adjustment.
